Franciacorta is Italy’s most prestigious sparkling wine—and Berlucchi is its most renowned producer. They literally invented the genre in 1961, making an elegant, Champagne-method sparkler that launched a quality revolution in northern Italy. Now, hot on the heels of their Gambero Rosso Winery of the Year award—the most prestigious prize in Italian wine—we’re able to…
Great Champagne, 60 Years in the Making France’s modern Champagne history runs through André Jacquart’s estate, situated in the Vertus Premier Cru growing region, thanks to a tremendous bloodline. Fifth-generation curator Marie Doyard can boast that André was one of her grandfathers. Her other grandfather was Maurice Doyard, the legendary vintner who helped create the…
A Micro-Production Triumph! No one merits the term “grower-producer” more than Guillaume Sergent, who owns just under four acres in Champagne, and tends every last plant himself—it allows him to “understand his vines perfectly.” The 881 bottles of his NV Champagne Les Prés Dieu Brut that exist are the product of his painstaking work. Composed…
This is what insider Champagne is all about: A hard-to-find bottle from what Robert Parker praised as “the finest Champagne house virtually no one has ever heard of.” Only about 200 cases of Champagne Henri Giraud Blanc de Craie make it into the US each year, and we’ve got a tiny fraction of that. It’s…
From the Wine Access archives: In 1983, we booked a trip to France. Our combined salaries were barely 50k, but this was the chance of a lifetime. We spent a month studying Gault et Millau and the Michelin Guide, and then made a half-dozen lunch reservations. We were poor in NYC, but with eight Francs…
100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blanc The Pierre Richard Crémant du Jura Brut Harmonie is a Champagne-lover’s (and sommelier’s) dream, providing the lively, cool-climate acidity and toasted complexity of Champagne at less than half the price. So if you’re among the lucky few ordering this by-the-glass at New York’s iconic Blue Hill at Stone Barns, we…
When you’re lucky enough to have a seat at SF’s Birdsong, you pay attention. To everything. We first dined at the two-Michelin-star destination late last year, as we collaborated with their wine team for our Michelin club. It’s a place where no detail is overlooked, and the team’s commitment to quality and the dining experience…
It takes just four words to get a serious Champagne collector’s heart beating: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Two of history’s most legendary Champagne producers are located there: Salon, the elite house whose rare releases (only four vintages per decade, on average) are some of the most highly sought-after in the business; and Krug, whose famous 1.85-acre Clos…
Hailing from one of Champagne’s most storied villages, Paul Launois’ Composition #5 is suitable for anyone looking for luxury bubbles. Exquisite in its detail and laser-like in its focus, it’s more Ferrari than Rolls-Royce—a thriller that shifts seamlessly from dazzling start to cruise-into-the-sunset finish. It pours pale and flaxen, with pastry dough and orchard fruit…

Champagne Paul Launois has emerged as a rockstar hitmaker of the Côte des Blancs. One fresh take after another has quickly put them in league with their august neighbors, Krug and Salon, in the village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Monochrome #1 is all epic Grand Cru Chardonnay grown on vines that share dew drops with Krug’s…
Champagne’s Côte des Blancs is hallowed ground. Its rare, pure-chalk bedrock and scant topsoils make it the most coveted address in Champagne for Chardonnay and Pertois-Moriset’s Les Quatre Terroirs brings together grapes from four of its Grand Cru villages to create an incredible expression of Côtes des Blancs Champagne. Pertois-Moriset is based in the star…
Needless to say, we were a little out of place. We recently found ourselves at a Silicon Valley soirée toasting a friend-of-a-friend’s Series A funding. Judging by the Mouton and Grand Cru Burgundy open on the bar, the capital investment was a generous one. But what piqued our interest even more than the iconic reds…
When The French Laundry pours a Champagne by the glass for years, you know it has to be that good. The one they’re always reaching for is the Pierre Gimonnet et Fils NV 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne, a clean and crisp grower Champagne that will capture your hearts just as it did…
Proving Bobby Stuckey’s Advice With Grand Cru Bubbly For those of you who know of Bobby Stuckey (and if you don’t) the legendary restaurateur, Master Sommelier, and James Beard winner behind Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder recently gave a jaw-dropping interview to The Daily Beast. One point he made that caught our eye was…
Champagne Pierre Moncuit is an energetic insider-favorite going back decades, a sure bet at blind tastings even in the most elite company. That’s one reason it’s the Champagne of choice at Le Bernardin, where it’s regularly featured by the glass and recommended by Aldo Sohm’s team as both an aperitif and three-star accompaniment. “Very lively…
Finding Pierre Morlet’s Blanc de Blancs is like discovering that the Beatles recorded a secret album in between Abbey Road and Let It Be. This is Morlet’s top-secret bottling: It’s the first time in five generations that the Morlet family has crafted this special wine, and it’s buzzing with the same vinosity and detail that…
Terroir and latitude: Those are two of the biggest factors in Champagne’s magic formula. The brisk conditions and limestone-rich soil combine to make wines to which very few others can compare. The exception, though, might just be the sparklers from the south of England. Just a degree or two farther up on the globe than…
The Savoy Anderson Valley Chardonnay unfolds with heady notes of ripe nectarine, floral honeysuckle, and a touch of fresh mango, enlivened by a bright, citrus twist. The rich aromatic profile is reflected on the palate in the rounded, supple mouthfeel, itself elegantly lifted by crisp, refreshing acidity. A warm, toasted element reminiscent of freshly baked…
A thoughtful regimen of concrete egg and large format, neutral oak barrels enhances the purity of fresh yellow fruits and delicate floral aromas. Notes of mild Meyer lemon, Asian pear, and night-blooming Jasmine intermingle with a playful brininess befitting this coastal Chardonnay. Light in body yet full in flavor, the rounded palate carries a crisp…
